The Christmas concerts of the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra have a long and successful tradition in Vienna’s cultural scene.
 
Every year on December 22nd, 23rd, 25th and 26th, the orchestra performs the most beautiful compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Strauss and Emmerich Kalman in the large Festival Hall (Festsaal) of Hofburg Vienna. Christmas in Vienna is only festive when you let yourself be enchanted by classical music in an imperial concert hall!
 
The orchestra is accompanied by the four international vocal soloists Sera Gösch, Rita-Lucia Schneider, Franz Supper and Michael Mrosek. The conductor is Giuseppe Montesano. The Christmas Concerts by the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra take place in the incomparable Festival Hall of the Vienna Hofburg.
 
The Programme
In the programme for the Christmas Concerts, Arias and duets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart inspire in this festive setting, while the unmistakable melodies of Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmanns, Franz von Suppés, and above all the Strauss family already prepare us for the end of the year.
 
Just as Johann Strauss planned, and according to the tradition of all great Viennese orchestras, the musicians have prepared some musical jokes to delight the audience once again every evening!
 
The Venue 
Hofburg Vienna – Festival Hall
The Festival Hall (Festsaal) is the largest hall in Vienna Hofburg with almost 1,000 m2.
 
The impressive ceiling paintings by the painter Schramm show the motto of Emperor Franz Joseph I. “Viribus Unitis” (With united forces). Eduard Veith and Viktor Stauffer have immortalized personalities from Austrian history in the lunettes and octagon fields below.
 
The Festival Hall was originally planned as a throne room but was never used in this form because the monarchy ended before its completion.

Seating
Like most of Vienna's historic concert venues, there are no numbered seats. You will be seated by the evening personnel within your category. If you booked your tickets together you will always be seated together. The evening box opens 30 minutes before the concert starts. We advise you to be on time.
 
The higher the category, the closer you are to the stage. VIP Category and Category A are the best seats, followed by Category B.
